A question for all the members or former members of the military on the list: do you consider yourself more "right" or "left" wing? My own experience in the military suggests that for the most part professional military members tend to be more "conservative" than "liberal," though it frequently seems that those labels are so abused that they are almost meaningless. Thus my feeling is that in the current volunteer military service we have in the US, most of the people who sign up, and particularly those who stay in, probably represent the "right" wing more than the "left" wing. (If anyone can show me that I may be wrong in this feeling, I would appreciate being corrected.)
I've always considered myself to be a moderate Democrat.

I consider myself now, before and during my military service to be a Cold War liberal.
